How do I connect multiple Dominion KX II devices together into one solution?

Multiple Dominion KX II devices do not need to be physically connected together. Instead, each Dominion KX II device connects to the network. They automatically work together as a single solution if deployed with Raritan's optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG) management unit. CC-SG acts as a single access point for remote access and management. CC-SG offers a significant set of convenient tools, such as consolidated configuration, consolidated firmware update, and a single authentication and authorization database.

In addition, CC-SG enables sophisticated server sorting, permissions, and access. If deployment of Raritan's CC-SG management unit isn't an option, multiple Dominion KX II devices still interoperate and scale automatically. The Dominion KX II's remote user interface and the Multi-Platform Client will automatically discover Dominion KX II devices. Non-discovered Dominion KX II devices can be accessed via a user-created profile.

Can I connect an existing analog KVM switch to the Dominion KX II?

Yes. Analog KVM switches can be connected to one of the Dominion KX II's server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer Interface Module (CIM) and attach it to the user ports of the existing analog KVM switch. Please Note that analog KVM switches vary in their specifications and Raritan cannot guarantee the interoperability of any particular third-party analog KVM switch. Contact Raritan technical support for further information.
